Terriers sack manager
REAL MADRID are the Fifa Club World Champions for a record extending fifth time after they beat Al Hilal 5 3 in the Moroccan capital of Rabat on Saturday, February 11. No other side in world football even comes near the incredible feat that Carlo Ancelotti’s team has achieved.
They were victorious for four consecutive years from 2014 to 2018 with the tournament being won by a European club on each of the last 10 occasions.
Los Blancos took an early lead in the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium through Vinicius Junior after 13 minutes. Federico Valverde doubled the lead in the 18th minute. The Saudi Arabian side reduced the deficit after 26 minutes thanks to a goal from the Mali international Moussa Marega.
Karim Benzema joined in after 54 minutes and the Uruguayan Valverde was on target again to make it 4 1 four minutes later. Former Fulham Luciano Vietto striker bagged a goal for the Saudi team managed by former Oxford United boss vvVietto grabbed his second goal after 79 minutes to make it 5 3, but by then, it was too late, and means that no Asian team has yet won this trophy.
Ramon Diaz in the 63rd minute to reduce Madrid's lead.
This was short lived though when Vinicius added his second to make the score 4 2. Al Hilal never really looked capable of winning this match and it was all over when Vinicius hit his second in the 69th minute.
HUDDERSFIELD TOWN is looking for their third manager this year after they sacked Mark Fotheringham, with the side yet to win a game this year.
A news source reported on Wednesday, February 8 that Fotheringham had been released with immediate effect bringing to a close a fivemonth spell at the John Smith’s Stadium.
It is understood that assis tant Kenny Miller has also left leaving Narcis Pelach to take charge of Saturday’s game against Wigan Athletic, the second time he has done so this season. Earlier in the season he managed a 10 victory over Cardiff City during an earlier managerless period.
Fotheringham took over in September following a poor start to the season by his successor Danny
Schofield.
Although any victory this year would’ve taken them out of the relegation zone, the side continues to concede soft goals. That combined with a lessthandangerous attack, the side has found it difficult to get results.
Since taking charge in September the side under Fotheringham managed only 21 points in 20 games.
